BLUE STATE RAGE: This Map Shows Why New Jersey And Chris Christie Should Be So Infuriated With John Boehner

Chris Christie just went on an epic
tirade against Congress for failing to pass a Superstorm
Sandy relief bill.

One reason for his outrage at not getting help: New Jersey
contributes way more in federal taxes than it gets back from the
government.

He says this should be a reason that New Jersey gets extra help
in times of need, not a reason to be ignored.

Via Ezra Klein, the above map shows which states (in
red) receive more than a dollar back for every dollar
they pay in taxes. The blue states all pay more in taxes than
they get back. New Jersey is a blue state.

A key feature of the chart is that almost every "blue"
state on here, is also a blue state politically (meaning it
usually votes Dem). Texas is the one exception.
